Where has Richard Belzer been this season? He's been in like only 4 episodes. Anybody know?

Don't know for sure but it may be a age related decision not to have him on as much. They seem to mainly focus on the younger detectives and the guest stars and in turn they probably draw in a younger audience. That's just my theory. I always liked his character John Munch and I wish they'd include him in more episodes.

I always thought of Richard Belzer as HOWARD STERN!! -- I see him and it looks/sounds like Howard!!
